Alex Nackman – Dear Rose lyrics

Reaching back, like you were young and not near the end
You can’t find the words to pretend
You’ve always had a feather in your strong conscience heart
No bliss in the train ‘round the bend
We try to talk you down, to see the light, and make our defense
But growing old takes you down by the head

When you’re young, will you waste it
When you’re grown, will you brave it
You can’t stop the sunset from driving ahead
When you’re young, will you save it
When you’re grown, will you face it
Open your eyes to what’s made life transcend
Cause the daylight could burst tight as you go out
And the world would go on like a storm through a town

And I’ve been hearing things, like time will bring, this happiness back
But love wears the watch now, my friend
At your age, got the sharpest wit of all that I’ve seen
Remember what you comprehend
The days may come in waves and make you strange
But how you’ve been brave, a century lifts up your wings

When you’re young, will you waste it
When you’re grown, will you brave it
You can’t stop the sunset from driving ahead
When you’re young, will you save it
When you’re grown, will you face it
Open your eyes to what’s made life transcend
Cause the daylight could burst tight as you go out
And the world would go on like a storm through a town

When you’re young, oh don’t waste it
When you’re young, don’t waste it
